I put laundered clothes back

into the drawers

and various recesses

of my children

then I did for me and mine

for my husband

I stopped and mulled

hesitated

once a certain size is reached

the colors leeched from cloth

and bleached

beige and grey and tan and black

navy blue  and blade runner red

was

greens and reds and pinks and purples
sparkling yellow and loud turquoise

my camo gear is useful

I wear the price I pay
